Perspectives on Leadership : From the Science of Management to Its Spiritual Heart

Rating:
Summary: Great ideas, textbook delivery
Review: Gilbert Fairholm's book is a great introduction to leadership theory history. I was impressed by his analysis of leadership types and found myself trying to figure out where I fit and where I want to fit.

However, it falls short on what I really like about leadership books: concrete examples or anecdotes. It covers exciting material, and yet it reads like a textbook. That makes it hard to get fired up about creating a "trust culture" or a "spiritual (whole self) leadership" environment.
